    Leatherman wave (new) or Charge (Ti, ALX, Xti, TTi)?

    +1 with gusto! Carrying my Spyderco Scorpius takes the blade part out of the equation; it's small with it's own clip and disappears into the pants pocket weight-and-bulk-wise (alot of Spyderco models do) and for that matter, the Wave with the pocket clip rocks too. For $50 extra, getting the...

    Cyan/Turquoise LED lights?

    That's the wavelength I'm looking for; ideally tuned to 490-492nm. The LuxV cyan stars are currently spec'd at 505nm for some reason when I checked, and are out of stock on the Canadian site with more due in on Jan 19 - but will be gone next month. I'm debating whether I should roll the dice on...

    I lost my PST

    I still have the original PST in unused condition. Check out the SOG line; USA made (10 miles from where I live by a fellow ex-'Nam vet); well crafted, and leather sheaths. If I lose my multi, I'll probably get a SOG. Personally I EDC the older Gerber ProScout - a dinosaur too by today's...

    LaCrosse BC-9009 / BC-900 - The Melt-Downs Continue...

    So, is this issue also occurring with the BC900's with the updated v35 firmware? Or just the BC900's with the v32? Going by this thread it seems that the BC9009 is the main culprit, correct?

    OLight K90 pics leaked (SST-90 light)

    ...until DX unleashes the new "PoopFire" SST-90 for $199.95. No battery pack, either - it'll take 6 raw 18650s in varying states of charge - soon to be on all the terrorists' short lists! Can you say "pipe-bomb"? Just switch it on and toss that sucker like a grenade...

    I'm looking for a multi-tool

    Just now noticed this thread. While far from being a lightweight, I've used my Gerber ProScout 600 since... forever. Well it seems like it anyway. Eons. It still works like new and it's been through hell and back. I'm on my second belt pouch for it.

    MG PLI MC-E *review + beamshots*

    I got mine last week from Bryan - at first the head didn't want to budge, but after trying to loosen then tightening the head and repeating, it finally broke free in my hands. Using a fine-point Sharpie, I made reference dots on the body and head for re-alignment afterwards. The threads of the...

    Man, I'm bored with Flashlights these days!

    I've been where you are - a number of times. For me, it's gotten difficult to capture the magic of LED lights compared to when I first joined here - everything was new and revolutionary back then. My current quest in LED lighting is trying to capture the "Hollywood cyan" color that's used often...

    4Sevens Beamshots (Chapter 1 - Indoor)

    desertrat21, you are a wizard with that camera! Your photos have been no small part of the wallet-loosening influence as far as me getting Quarks - 123 Ti, and MiNi AA and 123 neutrals :grin2: I'll echo the sentiment I've read that 4Sevens should consider giving you a call for future promotions...

    Cyan/Turquoise LED lights?

    Time to revive an old thread - any modders out there doing anything with true cyan ("Tokyo Blue") these days? Preferably in the 3-5W range and floody? Anyone? :candle:

    small, green, low-med power, useful laser ... possible?

    http://z-bolt.com/ Got mine there almost 8 years ago - never noted any dimming either, and still use it. :thumbsup:

    Green Survival laser

    A 5mW greenie would be fine to add to the survival kit, and +1 on Patriot's suggestion - definitely add a strobe, firestick (starter), signal flare and a throwy torch, mylar "blanket", multi-tool, etc. As for it working in cold weather - the 2001 "Lighting of the Christmas Tree" in Seattle was...
